With the clock ticking and the threat of blackmail hanging over their heads, it may just be time for Caleb to take control. The only question is if he’s going to cast Sam aside and save his reputation… Or if he’s going to go public with the biggest bang possible.

Rock Stars Don't Brawl

Michael goes to Shortwave’s rock shows down at the Maelstrom partly because he loves the music, but mostly because Shortwave’s frontman is smoking hot. Every gig they play, Tyrell is out there, gleaming bronze under the stage lights and singing in a rough baritone that makes heat pool in Michael’s gut.

Michael’s too shy to say anything- and when their eyes meet over the crowded dance floor, the smouldering hunger Michael sees there must be some kind of mistake.

Michael flees, but the night streets are a dangerous place. When a mugging turns nasty, Michael’s sure he’s about to die- until Tyrell jumps in, bare-fisted, with a wicked grin.

Now that he’s saved Michael’s honour, he’s going to claim his prize.

This 6000 word short story contains rough sex, biting, hot rock stars, and a night that Michael’s not ever going to forget.

Happy Endings

One of the biggest misleading things people want out of a story is a happy ending- or what they say they want, anyway. Authors go crazy trying to wrap up every little plot thread in a saccharine bow, and it's been the ruin of more than a few good books. Some go too far in the other direction, and that can be worse.

What people actually mean when they say they want a happy ending to a story is that they want something that's appropriate to the narrative, and emotionally satisfying. For example, you could end a story with the main character dying- but if it's after a long happy life, or this is a resolution, or something is accomplished by it, then it works.

(This is not always true for every genre, though. Romances have to end well, or nobody's happy. That's sort of the whole point of that type of story! Everything's beautiful, nothing hurts.)

Skirts and Strangers

Dylan has never dared to indulge his kinks. Not with a partner, and especially not in public. But when he works up the courage to climb down onto club Maelstrom’s dance floor wearing a short skirt and high heels, he’s in for the ride of his life.

A mysterious stranger on the dance floor is more than happy to take Dylan in hand. Jason’s about to show Dylan that he doesn’t have to be ashamed of what he likes- and at the end of the night, he’ll be begging for more.

On Selling Books

Russel Blake has an interesting post up about what exactly it takes to publish and market books (see it in full here). I've found a lot of what he says to be true- but nothing more so than the advice to write quickly and make your releases frequent.

Now, that's the hardest part, of course. Getting all the words down on paper as fast as you can. What I need is a brain to page translator. My hands just aren't fast enough.

One thing I don't agree with, though, is going back and rewriting old novels years later. If you start in with that, you'll never stop. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet, admit you weren't always as skilled as you are now, write more and write new.

More! Faster!

I was reading Rachel Aaron's 2K to 10K - if you've never heard of it, it's a book (adapted from the linked blog post) on how to, essentially, write faster.

I always feel like I'm not writing fast enough. Writing, especially these days, is a numbers game. You can't spend two years writing the novel of your dreams (much as I'd like to), you have to get your work out in numbers, make it good, and you have to get it out yesterday.

Her book's helped me out already. (I sound like I'm shilling, here. I'm not! I promise!) All it took was one simple little thing I didn't think to do- I used to shoot for pure word count in a single day, and when I reached it, I'd stop. Now, I start a timer when I start writing (I use toggl, it's free and I couldn't find any other timer that would give me nice graphs for what I did over weeks and months), and I don't stop writing until my time's up.

I'm not writing anything like 10,000 words a day- it's still kind of mind-boggling to me that anyone can manage that- but I'm producing more than before, and I'll count that as a win.
